Got Sophie to do a math lesson then a geography lesson. Got Helen to do a reading practice lesson and now she is doing some learning activities out of a pre-K book. I handed Rick a copy of Durand's Life of Greece and he has started reading that. Now we just need to do a Bible reading a little later before bed.

The New School Year

Ok here is the plan. School begins again in earnest in September. Sophie needs prep-work on math, Richard needs prep-work on writing, and Helen needs prep-work on reading. I have five weeks to work with them consistently and help them ramp up for the rigors of the new year.

July 4th weekend

We spent the 4th in Woodstock, Va with the in-laws. We had a nice time. We also got to see our good friends the Buedes. And we went to the movies to see the movie "Wall E" which was terrific. Also got to see fireworks!
